Package: grub-pc Version: 1.99-23 Severity: minor Apparently, grub-pc deletes and copies every file by file on /boot instead of batched: “ps ax” shows things like “rm -f /boot/grub/videotest.mod” and “cp -f /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/help.mod /boot/grub”
This is very slow when /boot is an ext2fs with -o sync,noatime as usual in older installations when the filesystem for / was not quite as trusted or considered less safe. -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/disk/by-uuid/9c0002f4-7824-4790-8891-e684482e0433 / reiserfs rw,relatime 0 0 /dev/vda1 /boot ext2 rw,sync,noatime,errors=continue 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/vda *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then load_env fi set default="0" if [ "${prev_saved_entry}" ]; then set saved_entry="${prev_saved_entry}" save_env saved_entry set prev_saved_entry= save_env prev_saved_entry set boot_once=true fi function savedefault { if [ -z "${boot_once}" ]; then saved_entry="${chosen}" save_env saved_entry fi } function load_video { insmod vbe insmod vga insmod video_bochs insmod video_cirrus } insmod part_msdos insmod reiserfs set root='(hd0,msdos3)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 9c0002f4-7824-4790-8891-e684482e0433 if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=640x480 load_video insmod gfxterm insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd0,msdos1)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 8bd93405-542c-41f7-a8e3-761a3775bb7c set locale_dir=($root)/grub/locale set lang=en_GB insmod gettext fi terminal_output gfxterm set timeout=5 ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue set menu_color_highlight=white/blue ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-3-686-pae' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd0,msdos1)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 8bd93405-542c-41f7-a8e3-761a3775bb7c echo 'Loading Linux 3.2.0-3-686-pae ...' linux /vmlinuz-3.2.0-3-686-pae root=UUID=9c0002f4-7824-4790-8891-e684482e0433 ro quiet echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /initrd.img-3.2.0-3-686-pae } menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-3-686-pae (recovery mode)' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd0,msdos1)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 8bd93405-542c-41f7-a8e3-761a3775bb7c echo 'Loading Linux 3.2.0-3-686-pae ...' linux /vmlinuz-3.2.0-3-686-pae root=UUID=9c0002f4-7824-4790-8891-e684482e0433 ro single echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /initrd.img-3.2.0-3-686-pae } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### ### END /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.
